AIMS: To assess the impact of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, an enzymatic deficiency prevalent in individuals of African or Asian descent, on Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, diabetes medication purchases, and the cumulative incidence of diabetes related complications.
METHODS: A large cohort study was conducted within a national health organization, comparing 3,913 G6PD-deficient patients to a matched control group without G6PD deficiency over two decades. The main measures and outcomes were the HbA1c levels, patterns of diabetes medication purchases, and the incidence of severe diabetes-related complications.
RESULTS: HbA1c levels significantly underestimated blood glucose concentrations in G6PD-deficient individuals. Individuals with diabetes and G6PD deficiency had lower rates of treatment with most diabetes medications, notably GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors. Severe diabetes-related complications were more frequent among G6PD-deficient patients, with adjusted hazards ratios [95% confidence intervals] of 1.44 [1.16-1.81] for severe kidney insufficiency, 1.75 [1.23-2.49] for myocardial infarction, and 1.27 [1.02-1.58] for neuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights serious gaps in the management of G6PD-deficient patients with diabetes, who suffer from insufficient medication management and higher rates of complications. These findings underscore the need to account for G6PD deficiency in diabetes treatment to ensure equitable and effective healthcare for this vulnerable population.
